Grand Theft Auto VI reported to be 210 GB download

Can anyone recommend a better 2D sprite-based animation software besides just using fucking GODOT for animating sprites? Seems overkill but

It’s wild that we have a society like this. Like we’re just not doing anything about it. We’re just kind of watching it collapse.

FONT PEOPLE! I’m in need of a couple cool fonts that match an electric theme/feeling. One big thick/bold one and a skinny one. But it can’t be too cheesy like the Thor fonts. Any ideas? (They can be paid if not ridiculous)

The 10th anniversary release of this in vinyl started me down a BIG rabbit hole of budget turntables; as the one I had at the time apparently was not fully at the correct speed, and the pitch and the timing was ever so slightly off.

Hadn’t noticed until this album, which was so burned into my brain that even the slight shift in play speed was immediately obvious to me. Kept asking “man why did they make it faster?”

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

The tools may be way better than I had in 2005, but the pure, physical recoil of having to edit dozens of sprites pixel by pixel hasn't changed.

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

This week is just a firehose of great games. I've played a couple other releases early and it's just great stuff all round. Plus some older stuff getting a resurgence. Look Outside going multiplatform with another slab of new content.

Phantom Blade Zero is an unbelievably smooth action game filled with memorable boss fights, compelling combat, and limitless swagger. Our review: https://bit.ly/47BMCKU

This is a fun little project I finally wrapped up - visited the Archive this summer with @pc98audi.bsky.social and made a video on that experience.

DF Retro returns! In this latest episode, @dark1x.bsky.social visits the Embracer Games Archive, home to over 80,000 objects: a massive physical games archive and a fantastical retro hardware collection. Want a peek inside? youtu.be/7gWuL_RkxCw

Surprisingly emotional after liberating my Pokemon Home Pokemon after 13 years of many being trapped without a game to go into. I get to refill my X&Y saves back like they were and get all my newer Home boxes to boot

Hard to parse my thoughts for this honestly. But to me, BioWare represented making things happening despite so many forces working against it. And that was represented in the stories the creators there told as well - representing people who, so often, have the world working against them

The news was hardly a surprise, but BioWare games are some of my favorites of all time. I know they’re not the same studio they were a long time ago, but maaaaan it’s still lame. EA was truly rot from start to finish.

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

To honor one of the studios that defined PC gaming, we've republished more than 20 articles about BioWare today. The pcgamer.com homepage is dedicated to interviews, retrospectives, and making-ofs about some of the best RPGs of all time.

Some real irony in the fact that Dragon Age as a franchise sort of became defined by making miracles happen in the face of utterly gross mismanagement

Anyway, Dragon Age II is the best Dragon Age. I love them all, but DA2 was a flawed gem whose ambition was curbed by ruthless deadlines. What was realised, in the end, was still an incredible story that aged like wine in dark times. I will always love my disaster bisexual polycule adventuring party.

Some of the most fruitful creative relationships I've ever had in this industry have been with artists or with engineers and the idea of everyone in the industry just going "*my* discipline is important ofc but we can just use the slop machine for everyone else's" is so fucking depressing

I think I might skip Next Fest this week. My inbox is flooded with demos and I really enjoyed my previous rounds' coverage - but it somehow feels like too much this week.

Alright I complain about YouTube trends a lot lately, I know. But the one that outright RUINS my ability to enjoy watching it anymore is this one. Seems like EVERY gaming video these days is a fuckin' let's play disguised as a topical video. It's exhausting. If I wanted a let's play, I'd pick one!
